MBX-1 PROJECTOR SPECIFICATIONS:

state-of-the-art.

The MBX-1 utilizes a unique and revolutionary video processing sys- tem capable of actually duplicating the characteristics of film for the first time in a fixed-pixel digital projector. This is accomplished through specialized circuits that implement a 3-step process— pre-processing, decoding and optimizing film-originated signals; enhancing the dynamic range for maximum black level, contrast and detail reproduction with- out increasing noise levels; and post-processing that eliminates undesirable RGB characteristics associated with digital projection. Since film is not an RGB medium, this process is key to producing a film-like image.

With lens choice and anamorphic options, the MBX-1 can be tailored for use in virtually any home or electronic cinema environment and its tremendous light output is suitable for screens as large as 500" wide. The companion MBX-1

*ANSI Lumen specification:

This is the typical projector luminosity (brightness) specification found in most sales literature. This measurement is included in RUNCO literature to allow for direct comparison with other manufactur- er’s projectors. These measurements can be taken at 9,000 to 13,000ºKelvin to get expected performance data when the projector is used in professional, commercial, and industrial displays.

**CSMS Home Theater Calibration ANSI Lumen Specification:

These measurements are taken from the projector as set up in a home theater environment. The projector is calibrated to ISF specifications including setting the color temperature to 6500ºKelvin, the standard for reproducing video.

**CSMS Home Theater Calibration foot-Lambert (fL) Specification:

This is the unit of measurement used in commercial movie theaters to express image brightness. The Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) specifies 16 fL as the target image brightness for film-based projectors using an open gate (without film in the projector). More importantly, today SMPTE specifies 12 fL as the target image brightness in Digital Cinema theaters using DLP™ technology. The foot-Lambert is dependant on screen size, screen gain, and projector light output.

All measurements are made at RUNCO to ANSI/NAPM IT7.228-1997 specifications using the Photo Research PR-650 SpectraColorimeter and Minolta LS-100 Luminance Meter, Video Essentials test DVD, and a Da-Lite 1.0 gain, 120-inch wide screen. The projector is calibrated to a color temperature of 6500º Kelvin and has a minimum of 150 hours of usage.
